# Expolinc Booth Designer
|
||
|
||
**AI-driven trade fair booth design for Expolinc modular exhibition systems, powered by FreeCAD + MCP.**
|
||
|
||
Design complete trade fair booths using Expolinc Classic Frame and Light Frame components — via natural language commands through an AI assistant (Claude, etc.). Generate 3D models, technical drawings, and bill of materials from simple descriptions like *"a 4x3m island booth with backlit walls and storage room."*
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Parametric Expolinc component library** — Classic Frame profiles, Light Frame backlit modules, connectors, storage rooms, doors, and accessories as parametric FreeCAD objects
|
||
- **MCP server integration** — Extends the [sergiudanstan/freecad-mcp](https://github.com/sergiudanstan/freecad-mcp) server with 12 Expolinc-specific tools
|
||
- **Layout engine** — Supports inline, corner, peninsula, island, and custom booth configurations
|
||
- **Bill of materials** — Component count, dimensions, weights, part numbers, recommended transport cases
|
||
- **Technical drawings** — Dimensioned multi-view drawings via FreeCAD TechDraw
|
||
- **CAD export** — STEP, STL, OBJ, DXF for manufacturing handoff
|
||
|
||
## Systems Supported
|
||
|
||
| System | Description | Sizes |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| **Classic Frame** | Modular aluminum frame with SEG fabric graphics, tool-less magnetic assembly | Widths: 500–4950mm, Heights: 2500/3000mm |
|
||
| **Light Frame** | Backlit LED frame system, integrates with Classic Frame | Same sizes + LED temperature/brightness config |
|
||
| **Connectors** | 90° corner, 180° inline, T-connector | — |
|
||
| **Accessories** | Storage rooms, doors, shelves, bridge connectors, support feet | — |
